After an 0-7 start to the season, the Dawson County varsity boys’ soccer team went on to win four of their final six games of the season against regional opponents to qualify for the GHSA state tournament for the fourth year in a row. “We had a very tough schedule, and I am proud of our boys who played like champions,” Head Coach Patrick Muenchen said. “They never quit in any match and fought hard every game.” That fighting spirit was put to the test when the region 7-AAA No. 3 Tigers traveled to Calhoun on April 24 to face the region 6-AAA No. 2 Yellowjackets in round one of the GHSA state tournament. After battling tooth and nail over 90 minutes of regulation play the game was finally determined by penalty kicks and the Dawson County’s season came to an end in a 4-2 shoot-out loss.
